There’s not much of a plastic reduction angle to this. I just think it is kind of cool. This solar powered coffee roaster uses focused energy from the sun to roast coffee beans. I noticed that they do use paper bags to package the fresh roasted coffee. This seems like a great business model for people that enjoy attending summer festivals. It must really suck when there is a cloudy day during a scheduled event.

I first heard of these guys a few years ago and at that time they were looking for a winter home for this machine. They are a Colorado based venture and they have a limited roasting season.
